Fort Myers Beach continues to make a strong comeback, with many hotels and resorts now fully reopened following Hurricane Ian recovery efforts. Visitors returning to the island will find a growing selection of beachfront resorts, boutique hotels, condo-style accommodations, and family-friendly properties open across Estero Island and the surrounding Fort Myers area.


Pink Shell Beach Resort & Marina remains one of the premier beachfront resorts on Fort Myers Beach. Located on the quieter north end of the island, the resort features multiple pools, beach access, marina facilities, family activities, restaurants, and spacious suites. The resort has undergone extensive restoration and modernization and is once again welcoming guests to its Gulf-front property.


DiamondHead Beach Resort is another popular beachfront destination currently open on Estero Boulevard. Known for its all-suite accommodations and central location near Times Square, the resort offers direct Gulf views, on-site dining, beach service, and easy walking access to shopping and nightlife.


Margaritaville Beach Resort Fort Myers Beach is one of the newest and largest resorts currently operating on the island. Opened as part of the major redevelopment near Times Square, the resort includes restaurants, bars, resort-style pools, entertainment venues, and direct beach access.



Casa Playa Beach Resort offers a smaller boutique-style beachfront experience on the north end of Fort Myers Beach. The resort features spacious suites with kitchen facilities and direct access to the sand, making it a favorite for guests looking for a quieter stay close to Times Square.


GullWing Beach Resort on the south end of Fort Myers Beach continues operating with large condo-style suites ideal for extended stays and families. The property provides beachfront access, tennis courts, and spacious multi-bedroom accommodations that are popular with snowbirds and vacationing families alike.


Pointe Estero Beach Resort is also open and welcoming visitors on the southern section of Estero Island. The resort features condominium-style accommodations with full kitchens, Gulf views, tennis courts, and direct beach access.


Edison Beach House continues to operate near the popular Times Square district. The property features apartment-style suites with kitchens and beachfront access, making it especially attractive for longer vacations and travelers who prefer self-catering accommodations.


Harbour House At The Inn is another reopened property serving visitors near the downtown waterfront district. Located near the Matanzas Pass Bridge and marina area, it offers convenient access to fishing charters, restaurants, and the downtown entertainment district.


Lighthouse Island Resort is operating again near the Times Square district. The property places guests close to restaurants, bars, shopping, and the beachfront entertainment area that continues rebuilding and expanding.


Seaside Resort is another open option on mid-island Fort Myers Beach. The property offers a quieter beachfront setting away from the busiest tourist areas while still providing direct Gulf access and easy island transportation routes.


Additional hotels and resorts around Fort Myers, Sanibel, and Estero are also open and continuing renovations or upgrades throughout 2026. Travelers visiting the area should expect an active rebuilding environment in some parts of Fort Myers Beach, but beach access, restaurants, and many accommodations are fully operational and welcoming visitors again.
